>> trump says he wants to run the nation like he is running our biz ness. god help us. maria: clinton with another surprise appearance at the convention trading president obama onstage at the the end of his speech, thinking him. despite the unity inside the arena, protests continued for a third straight night. some demonstrators earned the american flag. the latest on that coming up. donald trump ramped up attacks amid the dnc e-mailed lake, even calling for help to recover missing e-mails from her private server. >> russia, if you are listening, i hope you are able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are missing. i think you will probably be reported mightily by our press. let's see if that happens. maria: how it's all plain in the national security coming out.

some weakness this morning across the eurozone. in asia overnight, markets are lower. we are looking at the clients across the board. the shanghai composite economic fractional move up to .08%. joining me to talk about box that works dagen mcdowell, morgan ortega said the senior video reporter, shall be holiday with us. good to see you. thank you for being here. dagen: there were a lot of speeches to take in. i thought joe biden probably did the best of the night. he was talking to those white blue-collar voters who are in love with donald trump. did he make a dip? you'll see. maria: i agree with you. we want to talk about the impact obama had an michael bloomberg as well. we'll get into that this morning. join us as we continue the conversation. tony schaeffer is with us. naacp ceo and president cornell

william brooks and secretary of state under president bill clinton. madeleine albright will join us. stay with us. president obama highlighting the convention delivered a stinging criticism of nominee donald trump all existing hillary clinton is the only suitable candidates replace them in the the white house. secretary clinton will officially accept the nomination for president. blake irvin on the ground with the latest. good morning to you. reporter: hi, maria. good morning to you. we brought out the heavy hitters as the vice presidential nominee tim kaine spoke here. it was culminated by president obama's reached last night. he tried to pitch hillary clinton as someone who is tough, tested, smart, experienced in the room, while also trying to portray donald trump is someone who has shortchanged american workers for years. >> hillary has been in the room.

she has been part of those decisions. she knows what is at stake in the decision our government makes. what is at stake for the working families, for the senior citizen of the small business owners, for the soldiers, for the veterans. does anyone believe that a guy who spent his 70 years on this earth showing no great guard for work in people is suddenly going to be your champion, your voice? [laughter] if so, you should vote for him. reporter: donald trump did react on twitter last night. he sent out a couple tweaks. one of them read our country does not feel great all ready to the millions of wonderful people living in poverty, violence and despair. that was the response to president obama. there is a surprise appearance from hillary clinton. she did appear as the president said he was ready to pass the

baton onto her. clinton will take center stage tonight. this will be by far and away, keep in mind, she's a former first lady, former secretary of state, that this will be by far her biggest issue the american public to date. maria: for sure, blake. blake burman with the latest there. done more than president obama. the president claiming he knows if that was you hillary is. listen to this. >> a leader with real plans did break down barriers and last through glass ceilings and widen the circle of opportunity to every single american. the next president of the united states, hillary clinton. [cheers and applause] >> everybody knows. she is smart. everybody knows she is tough. but i know what she is passionate about. i know hillary.

hillary understands. >> we must unite around a candidate who can defeat a dangerous demagogue. [cheers and applause] maria: joining me now is republican strategist fox news contributor angelo mccloughan. after joining the conversation. >> good to see you. maria: your take away from all the praise. did it work? >> talking about shortchanging the american people, president obama's policies have shortchanged the american people. who worked in administration? hillary clinton's pre-liberal stripping out. maria, a convention does not win an election. our candidates need to talk about policy instead of talking about russia, our enemy giving us information on our secretary of state. when it comes to national security, that is an american

issue and donald trump should not have doubled down and he should stay away from those issues, maria. i think he did us a disservice. >> yesterday he gave a press conference ended his debate about whether or not that was effective in the middle of all of this. it is important to remember that last night all of these heavy hitters in the party were speaking to their party. it is unclear whether or not they impacted the independents. what do you think? >> this is a triple threat. joe biden appearing to the white working class americans. president obama to the malay mail's, to his base of minorities working class voters. mayor bloomberg rounded up the triple threat. he came onstage and said i'm not coming from either party. i am coming to say hillary clinton is saying and this is the person people should vote for. michael bloomberg is so much again in the middle of controversy very much. the fact he came out and had trump card was very meaningful

to people we know. >> it is independent double win this election for either candidate. democrats will vote for hillary. some people are still split on her. i don't think you did anything to help her with the election. it did a lot to bring the base together. the fact that hillary chose tim kaine, a lot of millennial syrups that because he so conservative. they stay at home where they might vote for trump. maria: go ahead. >> i don't mean this as an old, that he is ned flanders. go back and look at the speech. i don't mean that as an insult. he's theory easy to listen to. he doesn't knock the ball out of the park. but maybe with a double last night.

to angela's point, undecideds have anywhere from 10% to 25%. when you have the democrats last night talking about american economy, they don't recognize. they can be as hopeful as they want to be in our language and soaring rhetoric. when they talk about the u.s. economy, that is not how people feel about their place in this nation and certainly their economic stability. >> it's so sad. when you look at obama's policy, more black on welfare than the government has grown. we don't have my money in our pockets because we are paying for people that don't have dogs because obama's policy has failed us. trade to you she's very clear she wants to build the most house these. and if praise for hillary. a lot of donald trump action last night. president obama calling out trump for his scare tactics he

called it. listen to this. >> he's just offering slogans and the suffering fear. he is betting that if he scares enough people, he might score just enough those win the election. >> he says the leaves me, while his creditors, contract or is a monday dos employees and ripped off students did just that. folks, you can not believe one word that comes out of donald trump's mouth. >> donald trump with all his rhetoric would literally make a less safe. while embracing dictators like vladimir putin. >> what you think? what are your thoughts on the attack? >> that is that liberals have done. it is worked in the past.

liberals are great communicators, but that is not going to work this time. people care about policy. donald trump has proven that he can create jobs. in being a businessperson, you do make mistakes. things happen. people want jobs. they want to go back to work. i don't think that trump bashing won't work. >> what i heard last night was from the british go to leave the european union to remain campaign. i felt like i was listening to remain against last night. this overly apocalyptic the sky will fall in the world will end and one of the crucial errors of the brexit vote was overplayed their hand and talking down to the voters in the u.k. i heard that again last night. they are being overly apocalyptic, talking down to the world. people are smarter than that. >> i thought joe biden said this on the news channel.

that speech, parts of it will be given it the rnc. one of his closing lines we never break. we confronted with crisis. we endure, overcome, move forward. he could be a republican. >> i wonder how much looking at the whole cast of characters, that an independent might say this is the same cast of characters over and over again. they are of the royalty of the democratic party, but it's all the people we know. dagen: we elected you set a half years ago in my family income has grown. i'm working part-time, can't find a full-time job. >> to those of other things they're on the wrong track. >> hillary clinton really needed some of the speakers last night to appeal to independents and people on the fence. there's still a lot of people

who don't like donald trump. they need to paint clinton as likable enough. trained to do the leaves me. >> i just got a lot of dorky dads after that. >> good to see you. maria: we will be right back. a plane crashes while landing in california. we will have the details next. ♪

(ee-e-e-oh-mum-oh-weh) (hush my darling...) (don't fear my darling...) (the lion sleeps tonight.) (hush my darling...) man snoring (don't fear my darling...) (the lion sleeps tonight.) woman snoring take the roar out of snore. yet another innovation only at a sleep number store.

maria: french authorities

identify a second man who attacked hunter attacked the catholic church or during a police issue a persona that matters. >> good morning, maria through the second terrace was 19-year-old french national. he has been read through dna testing is one of the isis aligned terrorists injured three others. authorities say he was on the french terror watch list. the attack came less than two weeks after a man drove a truck into a crowd killing 84 people in southern france. let's stay in europe for moment. a scary moment for pope francis caught on tape. while celebrating mass in southern poland he was immediately helped to his feet by other clergy members who were with him. pope francis seemed okay and he got back to his feet to continue to mass in front of thousands of people. this happened as millions of course are watching the priest online, the pontiff online.

tragedy at an airport in california. four people killed after a small plane crashed on a runway and became completely engulfed in flames in columbia, california. investigators expected to arrive at the scene today. reportedly spread to a car nearby. no one on the ground was injured. some of the delegates at the democratic national convention in philadelphia are not happy that chick-fil-a sandwiches are being made available. those of the convention can buy chick-fil-a inside and outside the convention arena. many algae bt supporters and publicly spoke in favor of traditional marriage back in 2012. i would hope that the dnc would be more sensitive to the algae bt community. i will send it back to you. maria: has anybody heard about

that? >> i've seen people talk about it. dagen: if you don't agree the company's policy, joe eat the delicious food. >> they can bring it over here. i love chick-fil-a. maria: that's going on. face the one of the major highlights. we'll take a short break and all of the market action coming your way. stay with us.

maria: welcome back. dig through the democratic

national convention. making sure national security was a big part of the program. a shift from the topic relatively absent from the stage. big names including defense secretary leon panetta to bash trump is a dangerous candidate for national security. the sand. >> donald trump asks our troops to commit war crimes, endorses torture, spurs our allies from europe to asia, suggest that countries have their weapons. and he praises dictators from saddam hussein to vladimir putin. >> let's bring in lieutenant colonel tony schaeffer. good to see you. thanks for joining us. your reaction to this subject race last night. >> it's interesting that delayed the sonia to bring up anything

defense or national security related. nothing the first ever said about terror despite the fact we've seen domestically and on foreign soil in number of attacks. i disagree with secretary panetta. i've listen to the rhetoric on both sides. but trump has said several times. he said there's things you must do to increase the effectiveness of our object days. the torture thing is in the eye of the beholder. i've come out in my book. i am not for torture. the torture defined by how we do it in what the enemy does is vastly different. and that is language needs to be examined are carefully versus what we should do on the battlefield. i'm not saying we should torture. i'm saying there's things we should do that allow for us to break people into information. go ahead. maria: it is also very difficult to differentiate or distance yourself from the situation, which is reality. the u.s. has not gotten ahead of

rice's view of the actually got stronger under hillary clinton and president obama. >> absolutely. look at the laundry list of things that president obama made a comment about how the police trump frederick is helping isis. there is no evidence of that at all. what is clearly evident is the fact that president was told about the existence of isis. we have spoken about this. he was behind the scenes trying to tell the president about this. the president ignored him. the reason the isis exists is because the president completed another neglect that was to find her years ago. dagen: colonel, it is dagen mcdowell. when leon panetta was speaking, you heard the chant of no more war. i thought to myself, those attendees are disconnected from reality. we are at war. the isis islamic state are

attacking innocent, attacking priest and killing them. do they think removing us from the international age even more is going to make them go away somehow? >> i think we learned the lesson of putting large land armies overseas. special operations and working with allies is the way to go. with that said, your point is spot on. the democrat leadership and some of the space are detached from the reality of which we do. let me be very clear on this. the immigration policies that mr. obama and mrs. clinton has put forth will create the problems. europeans have seen about 500 terror attacks over the past year. largely because of their unmitigated, uncontrolled immigration policies that allowed for the terrorists to move in. we just don't want to have priest beheaded here. we don't want to have delta force raiding mosques. that is what is going on in germany asked the beat.

germans didn't pay attention to it. french didn't pay attention to it. their citizens are now paying the price. the democrat days talking about we don't want any more war. the policy's leadership before it is creating conditions. completely and pain. maria: that's right. having said. having said all that, donald trump is under fire after he invited russia to one cup or deleted e-mails from her time as secretary of state. listen to this. love to get your reaction. >> if it is russia, which is probably not. it's really bad for a different reason. it shows how little race that they have for our country when they would hack into a major party and get everything. but it would be interesting to see. i will tell you this. russia, if you are listening, i hope you are able to find that

30,000 e-mails are missing. maria: you know, colonel, i almost feel like donald trump fell for it. the democrats have created an opportunity to change the conversation. the conversation is about the e-mail sent about what was said in those e-mails. anybody on the left who you ask about brokering of russia as it is part of the conversation. it's not the point and donald trump fell for it. >> first, russia is running the board under president obama. they are getting away with everything. hillary clinton has every indication she would do the same thing. why would they defeat a candidate to what they want? you are correct about the point. he said i hope they find them, which implies they birdie got them. i've seen the left did nbc lie about this. i watch lester holt come on and say he is not encouraging

espionage. he is saying if you've got a ui to show them to us because it shows who disrespect to death by getting them. transfers if you listen to them are absolutely precisely correct. it's an opportunity to divert the issue from the fact that their whole election process from the candidate was corrupt. that's what the bottom line is. maria: people hate manipulation. >> colonel, yesterday i was, yesterday i was at the event were several state officials were in nato would convince. he spoke earlier about working with allies to defeat isis. there is no more important ally that we should be working with nato to defeat isis and our allies have been attacked. i don't know that donald trump fully get that. would he think he's been saying about nato and russia? >> he is open to being educated. i spoke about donald trump's comments to nato 30 days ago.

nader is a critical component of countering the expansion as well as a partner going after races. we were proposing and eric nato which we've been working with allies on. i've met with senior members to discuss this with government. the nato concept is a good one. i agree it needs to be revised heavily and we would all recognize that and i'll be talking to folks later about that very issue. trade to colonel, good to have you on the program. rowdy protests breaking up while the president and vice president rallied behind hillary clinton last night. hillary clinton's vice presidential pick, tim kaine accepting his nomination. the pin upgrade his convention debut. back in a moment.

>> live from the 2016 democratic national convention in philadelphia, pennsylvania, once again here's maria bartiromo. maria: welcome back, i'm maria bartiromo. we are coming to you live from the democratic national convention in philadelphia. top stories right now, 6:30 a.m. on the east coast. democrats bringing out the heavy-hitters last night ahead of final day of the convention. hillary clinton appearing on stage after president obama and other speakers targeted trump and the republican party. >> what we heard in cleveland last week wasn't particularly republican and it sure wasn't conservative. what we heard was a deeply

pessimistic vision of a country where we turn against each other and turn away from the rest of the world. >> any party that would nominate donald trump for president has moved too far away from his party of lincoln. >> despite unity on stage, protestors burning flags, ugly scene. donald trump on the campaign trail meanwhile ramped up attacks on hillary clinton. how he's taking the spotlight from the dnc, coming up. a missing gitmo detainee found, we will tell you where. facebook reporting a blowout quarter last night. the stock set to open at an all all-time high. a milestone for apple following a strong earnings report yesterday.

it has sold one billion iphone. futures edging higher this morning. we are expecting higher opening, dow joan industrial average to open up 20 points. in europe stocks are trade near the flat line as you will see, ftse down, just traction 10 points. in asia overnight, markets mostly lower, not major moves here. as you will see it's a fractional move. nikkei biggest mover down better than 1%. angry bernie sanders continuing to make their presence felt on the streets of philadelphia. fox news lillan with the very latest right now. good afternoon,lilan. >> some sort of distinct factions. you have those folks who are honing for free weed people. they have been making their voices heard. they're not out right now, perhaps sleeping.

we have the communist out here. that is the crowd that fills these streets every night and these security barriers have the front battle between police and people. if you want to get arrested, climb and that's what happened. we did have one injury out here last night and that was someone who had lit an american flag on fire and essentially dancing on the burning flag. they themselves became lit on fire as well and they had to be tackled to the ground and thrown bottle waters by fellow protestors. good news the protestor is going to survive. big question for the last day, maria. there's a bunch of little groups getting together to do what they call a dem exit, they are trying to get support for bernie sanders to register leaving the

democratic party, unclear how many people are going to show up for that, maria. maria: all right, lilan, thank you so much. president obama, vice president biden tim kaine going after trump. >> donald trump calls it a divided crime scene that only he can fix. >> his lack of empathy can be summed in a phrase he's most proud made him famous. you're fired. >> can i offer you a little tip, when you want to know something about the character of somebody in public life, look to see if they have a passion that began long before they were in office and that they have consistently held it throughout their career.

donald trump has a passion too, it's himself. maria: joining me right now with their grade for headliners commentator, and sasha burns. >> good to be here. >> kristen, let me tick it off with you, first president obama, how would you grade the president's speech last night? >> i gave him a b my news. he came out optimistic self. he gave a beautiful speech be many accounts and he did what he did in 2008, gave them a feeling of hope. it was good from that perspective but it was difficult to stomach his arguments on the fact that he's arguing for hillary clinton, there's all the things wrong and only she can fix and if they've gone wrong is directly because of his record. it was hard to square that and at the end of the day they are not going to vote for barack

obama, they are going to vote for hillary clinton. he set the bar for her tomorrow night. she's not always the greatest at that. maria: sasha. >> what a great night to be a democrat, what a great night to be an american, after watching the republicans last week, it's nice to remind that we are great and we don't need you donald trump to make us great because we already are. that was the part that obama was talking about, it's about reality. maria: sounds like you gave him an a. >> a plus, plus, plus. maria: a plus, plus. vice president biden who i really liked on both sides of the aisle, what do you think christine? >> an a. it was a fantastic por --

performance. i would ask my fellow republicans to really listen here, he is real, he's authentic and connects with the american people that doesn't only highlight what's wrong with their life and also lift them up. that's what republicans need to do. if anyone in the gop watched last night they can take a leap from joe biden's book. maria: it was a good speech. >> it was an excellent speech. >> he would just engage with that teleprompter, i know hillary clinton and just 100% convicted in everything he was saying. that's why joe biden is joe joe biden. maria: sasha. >> uncle joe. absolutely, he's wonderful. he also really addressed the middle class and democrats are saying there isn't work still to be done or my favorite as bloomberg said somebody sane and competent. [laughter]

>> you noticed he didn't gave endorsement for hillary clinton and he painted donald trump as a dangerous candidate. >> really his personal story when he talked about the loss of his son he has been through so much of his life and that really touched a lot of people and how he is able to remain so optimistic after everything he's been through, i don't know how you can't help to like the guy and he's from where my husband is from. maria: then senator tim kaine, now this was a risk that he took because not only is he out sort of being attack dog against donald trump, this is the first time that america is meeting senator kaine in some regard certainly as vice presidential pick, how do you grade senator kaine, kristen? >> i gave senator kaine a c plus. this was a chance to knock it out of the park, he did a great job of highlighting the more progressive positions, which he really had to do because of the

criticism of his being too conservative. he did that with his speaking spanish, si se puede, gun control. at the end of the day he's just perfectly normal. he's not that exciting and not that engaging and i will tell you, they really need the millennial vote to turn out. that's what i was worried about. he's another old white guy and he needs to bump up energy and enthusiasm to connect with the audience outside of the plea and pander to go hispanic voters like he did last night. maria: sanders supporters are not fans, sasha. >> you're absolutely right. a lot of sanders and millennials don't tend to vote. most of the supporters are going to vote with hillary and it's the same again as bloomberg said to independents, it doesn't matter, you can disagree with

her all you want, sane and competent. morgan: sasha, what do you think when he did the believe me. i kept thinking about rubio and it backfired and i was thinking in the context is this is introduction to national audience. do you think that was a weird way to introduce? >> i think he could have worked on that. tim kaine was between joe biden and bloomberg. he wasn't picked because he was excited. he was picked because he was a white guy. maria: was it appropriate, what he should be doing on day one of saying hello to the american people? >> i had no problem with it. maria: go ahead, kristen. >> it just kept going and going.

the arguing about trust worthy hillary clinton is is totally ironic given the fact that she's lied to the american people. maria: all right, we will leave it there. good to see you both. don't forget to tune into special prime time coverage 6:00 p.m. eastern including hillary clinton's address life from philadelphia. i will kick it off ♪ [announcer] is it a force of nature? or a sales event? the summer of audi sales event is here. get up to a $5,000 bonus on select audi models. be overwhelming and complicated.

220 million monthly active users in just the last year. maria: wow. dagen: the bulk of this people mostly 90% are mobile, using mobile devices. maria: they figured out how to monetize that. dagen: one area was a concern a few years was growth and advertising, they are advertising accounting for 84% of total ad sales and growing faster, revenue generated from mobile app is growing faster than average growth for facebook. they keep adding users like that and continue to figure out how to monetize the old cell phone, then they can't be stopped. maria: now we have amazon and google parent alphabet, amazon ha well as even though they haven't seen the kind of earnings growth when you talk about facebook. dagen: prime will be critical particularly the annual prime

[laughter] maria: joining us from new york republican strategist and co-chairman of the great america pac backing donald trump. ed, good morning, my friend. what are your thoughts of michael bloomberg jumping on the attack of donald trump last night? >> he was effective reaching out

to independents which obviously mark is respected by independentsents. last night was president obama's night, at tend of the day the convention would reelect him in a heart beat and joe biden right along with him. beyond that, as others have said this morning, they set a very high bar, she has to come out and take that crowd with that same kind of energy. three big speeches despite of 150 speeches in three days, everybody has been a class president or member of the assembly, anybody in the soap oprah has been on their show, at the end to have day, michelle obama, obviously president clinton and president obama have given powerful speeches for their base. she has to go out and hit the same kind of mark, that's a tough challenge. maria: we were just saying that, ed, they were talking to their base. bottom line is they were talking to democrats, so do we -- are we able to get a sense of whether

or not this is going to impact independents? >> you have to understand independents whatever the number is, there's a voting pattern of most independents to vote republican or democrat, 10 ta 15%, maybe larger, the true independent are going to be deciders at the end of the day. i don't think either one of the conventions has talk today independents and those are the ones that are going to make the minds late and final analysis here. dagen: hey, ed, it's dagen mcdowell. good to see you even though it's not in person. >> you are all coming back. [laughter] dagen: we are trying to get there. >> tired, tired. dagen: i want to ask you about the first lady's speech, bill clinton and the president. they have a gift for soaring and they have really hone that gift. hillary clinton has been on the national stage for about a quarter of a century and she still seems to struggle with

finding that voice and even the right tone and she has to avoid shouting tonight. i know that sounds simple but can she do that? >> well, she's very pedestrian, i think she's a woman of substance, a lot of knowledge but she can't touch the rhetoric of those three that you talked about and the democratic party sort of use today that. the one good thing is certainly senator kaine is not going to over power her. i thought her speech was pedestrian and very fine man but he's not a real. so she has to carry the ball, be the one out there making the sales pitch against a very, very tough opponent. maria: yeah, donald trump looking to tie hillary clinton to what he calls president obama's multiple failures while campaigning in iowa today. fox news is on the ground, ed, stay with us for a moment. let's get to john with your report. good morning to you, john. >> maria, good morning to you as well. i have to tell you, t a little bit disorienting we are in iowa

and not 2-degrees and snowing, but, hey no better place to be in the summer time. donald trump with two events here. one in davenport before head to go colorado, colorado springs and one in denver tomorrow. donald trump is trying to dominate the headlines despite the fact that the democratic national convention is all the rage in the evening, at least particularly for people on the democratic side, yesterday holding a press conference in doral in miami which went more than an hour. some of the headline that is came out not exactly what donald trump was hoping for when he was talking about the 33,000 missing emails that hillary clinton had on her server. he said this, listen. >> russia, if you're listening, i hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. i think you will probably be rewarded by our press.

>> now in an interview with fox and friends yesterday afternoon donald trump insisted he was only being sarcastic. he also said at the press conference and later on in the day that if russia was behind the hacking of the dnc emails it would be a side of just how much disrespect vladimir putin has for this nation's leaders and donald trump went onto say that he believes putin is a much better lead e of his country than barack obama is of the united states and donald trump also making no apologizes for the aggressive campaign schedule at the same time he is democratic opponent is trying to of her convention. here he is. >> you're not supposed to be campaigning today, you have broken all the rules, what's going on? they're having their convention. sir, you're not supposed to be campaigning. guess what, folks, we are campaigning.

[cheers and applause] >> because we are going make america great again, folks. >> of course, maria, donald trump really never one for the rules or convention or campaigning, putting together the eight years of barack on oonl -- obama and the downturns that that happened on his watch. maria: thank you so much. ed, what do you think? >> he's going to key states, pennsylvanias, floridas, iowas and he certainly has that to himself. i think he would have been better to have argued that the lack of security in the dnc high lights how it was far greater and not make charges against

russia or what vow and make the charge that he was careless. i think he got too cute and to a certain extent created controversy. he had a good punch to throw at her and he didn't throw at her. morgan: good morning, he's almost like a kardashian, he wants everybody to talk about him whether it's good or bad as long as he stays in the news. the strategy actually works for the kardashians, they have more money than i do. do you think he miscalculated? >> hopefully we do hold to a greater standard than the kardashians. the great strength is he looks like the leader and the strong man and he needs to continue to be the strong man. they need to be on the side of cops and soldiers, american

public and i argue that all of mrs. clinton is four more years of the obama administration, great. you want a change in washington, great, i'm the candidate for change. maria: and ttp signs. dagen: somebody shouting down. somebody was shouting. i thought that was kind of repugnant. >> there are a lot of people here inside and outside delegates and protestors who are very oppose today ttp, we have been talking to them and understanding of ttp is but donald trump has been hitting hillary hard this week, she would actually reverse our stance and pass ttp, is this an issue, ed, that would -- >> sure. he stated this. the iran agreement which is a disaster and this ttp, the

greatest pride, worked very hard, nobody knows what's in it and one of the things scrutiny and his constituency, the labor unions hate this pack, it's going to fail. it's done. i think it's got a big impact and donald trump will get a lot of mileage from it. maria: ed, thank you very much. i will see you sunday. thank you, ed rollins. veterans affairs spending millions of dollars of art work. more on that controversy next. for all of the lottery hopefuls, there was no power ball winner last night. get ready, straight ahead we will tell you how much cash is stirring in the pot now. back in raw ♪

quarter for us? >> well, it was a strong quarter for us, when you look at it it was one of the best second quarters ever. we grew the top line as you mentioned. when you look at our profitability, we had strong margins here in north america, a record-second quarter in europe, our transformation actions are really gaining steam there and also record operating cash flow, $4.2 billion, so it was a strong quarter and it was a record first half to the year in terms of profitability and as we look forward we see the second half weaker than the first half. we guide today that -- guided to that at the beginning of the year, we are taking those risks on and taking decisive actions on the face of that. maria: talk about those risks. interesting when you look around the world. europe delivered the best-second quarter for you and there was questions about asia. what's behind this guidance of weaker u.s. sales second half of the year? >> well, that is one of the risks that we are seeing.

we are seeing lower pricing and higher incentives here in the u.s. and in china. we are seeing the risk around a softening in retail industry in the u.s., still at healthy levels. we think what is behind that if you look at the second quarter the retail industry was down in second quarter in an stray where incentives were up, higher leasing from many competitors, if you look back at the beginning of the recovery the auto sales were robust and outpaced the economic performance at the time and what we are seeing now, although still at a healthy level, we are seeing intensifying competition as that growth is moderated and as we have seen the retail industry come back a bit here in the u.s. i expect we will continue to see some volatile industry factors each month depending upon which manufacturers get aggressive in the marketplace.

maria: yeah, that's interesting. you had a lot of launches, are you seeing -- you launch it had new escape, hybrid, lincoln, mkz, are you seeing in the retail area pulling back, are they becoming less confident? what do you think is going on and how does that play out second half? >> well, what we think is going on, again, is we are getting -- you know, all the demand has been satisfied. the consumer levels is good, that's why we are seeing healthy rate and it is coming down a bit and part of it on the car side as you see consumers good gravitate to suv's. you have manufacturers that have capacity and want to protect their market share there so we are seeing some pressure there. but overall, i think when you

step back, the consumer is relatively healthy but they are to the point where use car prices are starting to come down so that is impacting, we think new car sales and we think that will play it out. our view for the second half of the year is that the retail industry will be below last year and that's why we are calling out the riskses and taking very proactive actions, we will take production to match economy to demand. maria: in terms of actions that you're taking, you're trying to get ahead of this, is that going to impact jobs? >> well, as we look at get ago head of this, we don't expect it to impact jobs to any great degree, but again, we are going to stay focused on keeping our inventories in line and making sure that we are looking at the leading indicators and understanding what it means to our business and taking appropriate actions to make sure that we at the end of the day fulfill our guidance for the

year but also run our responsible business going forward. maria: well, in europe, how big of an impact did the uk vote to leave the european union have? >> in the second quarter it dented our profit by about $60 million and that was extend change effects on balance sheets. we are fully hedged for this year. going forward, what is the industry size and given the uk is our largest market in europe for sales, 30% of our sales, we are watching that very closely. in total for this year, we see an impact at about $200 million, 60 of it we incurred in the second quarter and next year, we expected to be potentially four to $500 million. that will depend on the size of the industry and, of course, we will have to see what happens after that once the uk and the

european work out what their trade relationships will be. maria: and what's the impact on technology? you invested in pivotal to further strengthen the cloud-base software that you are using and we talked in the past that moving forward the car is going to be totally technologically advanced, how does that change or get impacted from these more conservative or cautious views and behavior on the heels of this expectation for second half? >> well, clearly we want to make sure that we continue to invest in our products and technology and part of this, maria, is we start today see these risks earlier this year. we started to take action. that's why in the first half of the year versus our original plan, we have overachieved our cost for about $1.6 billion and that's looking at every element, getting more efficient but not compromising on our product or investments in technology. and as we go forward, part of our guidance as we look at the second half, which will be

weaker and particularly the third quarter, particularly weaker than last year because of the super duty launch, we are going full steam with investments and autonomous vehicles. maria: you are? >> absolutely. maria: does the uncertainty of the election play into this? >> well, you know, the election season, there's always different messaging that's going out that consumers are being exposed to. you know, clearly is some type of factor, positive or negative but it's going to get a lot of play obviously between now and november. maria: so an uncertainty factor is really what i'm looking at. mark, good to have you on the program. we will be watching the developments. >> all right, thank you, maria. maria: mark fields, ceo and president of ford. up next no shortage of heavy-hitters at the dnc last night. straight ahead we are taking a look at the buzz-worthy moments

say, i know plenty of businessmen and women who achieved remarkable success without leaving a trail of lawsuits and unpaid workers, and people feeling like they got cheated. maria: your reaction? >> well, my reaction is obama last night it was like a tell a of two obamas there was order obama and profess or yal judgey condid he say sending what we saw last night so independent voters weren't necessarily moved as much by obama, as they were by some of the other attacks that went on him, i just think that what we have last night a real love-fest for obama, i am not sure that it changes anybody's minds about hillary clinton. >> the most popular thing that moment on twitter dagen, i don't know what that tells us about independents, but -- >> don't boo. vote. >> yeah. >> but he has -- people who love the president love to see him give that kind of speech, and everything that he has honed in the last 7 1/2 years

longer than that since 2004, speech in front of the apple democratic convention in boston in terms of deliver with an deliver humor i think that is effective with the people who already like him, but in terms of of the independents -- it is i think bloomberg is one kind of went people went whoa. that is exactly right. >> bloom bergh was star of the show for taking down donald trump last night. >> they are speaking to the base. >> exactly right. >> obama is doing what obama does. you know. yeah -- explain to us, i o know donald trump got a big bump with independents coming out of the rnc, do you expect to see hillary get same seems like we are feeling like the convention thus far has not been talking to the same independent voters that trump is speaking to last week. >> i think a good question, i don't think that we're going to see a big bump with independents you talk to democrats -- i think that everybody is saying such a great convention don't you feel the love don't you i think they feel it here.

>> yes. >> each other for party that was important for them to have. but the independents are being left behind here because what independents feel is they feel a lot of pain, they feel that -- you know the country isn't going right direction they don't feel like at the academy, 68% saying we are going to wrong direction. >> the column today had interesting stats. >> in journal. >> about optimism rather thap wrong direction what bb optimism that people feel 69% a positive view of this country during the reagan administration second term bill clinton it was 71%. president obama, peaked 36% with optimism so we have not you have a giant part of this country, who do not feel like government is benefiting them. >> right exactly right vice president joe biden attacked donald trump specifically talked about knowledge about the middle class, watch this. >> when the middle class does

well, the rich do very well, and the poor have hope. >> they have a way up. he has no clue about what makes america great. >> actually, he has no clue, period. >> other o again rallied the base what about un. >> when you insult donald trump you insult middle class people that support him rather than brib bringing them around saying here is what we need to do here is going to i can make it better there are huge, huge of working class americans hardworking americans who find donald trump -- give them hope to say this, really is condid he say endeding doesn't else in move them in order for the democrats to admit that people don't think america-on right track not in great place means they have to admit policies they pursued past 8 years have not i worked, i mean that is a really big issue for them but i think there is a way for

home in, to acknowledge saying we feel your pain see you are hurting we see numbers 68% of you don't think we are going -- >> you can't blame on bush anymore. maria: right. >> they have contempt many democrats for very voters contempt for people between new york, and los angeles, and nancy o pelosi said in interview yesterday reason white male voters struggle to support democrats because of guns gays god, so you want to talk about condement stempt too or contempt people feel don't believe when you even have the vice president cheering for the working class they are not buying what he is selling. >> i sent a tweet out to all my follow theers on twitter said what did you think of all speeches it was almost universal i couldn't bring miles to watch tired of lectures i don't care same old same old same string of folks saying same thing, i didn't,

there were a lot of commentary that was positive on bloomberg, some on joe biden but people were not buying it. >> no. >> and it is the bottom line is people don't feel that this the last 8 years serving them well i agree with you the issue of contempt towards people a lot of voters have said to me i feel like they are so out of touch elite are talking to elite they have got is less thanities have no idea what it is like to struggling, like we are struggling you are talking about the wrong things the wrong message. so i think they -- they spent a lot of time trying to take down donald trump butch haven't spent a lot of sometime trying to build up people -- >> new york mayor form new york mayor ebb michael bloomberg here is a snippet of that. >> through his career donald trump has left behind a well documented record of bankruptcies and thousands of lawsuits, and angry stock holders, contractors feel cheated and disallusioned

customers feel they have been ripped off trump says he wants to run the nation like he is running his business? god help us. >> i am a new yorker. and i know a con, when i see one. >> wow that was red meat for democratic base what about independents? >> it actually -- this is this is the highlight of the night for independents because, first of all,, bloomberg doesn't seem asx to grind truly independent. >> but kind of did, i didn't realize he disliked donald trump that much. >> but going after donald trump one of the things people like about donald trump business acumen the fact going to make deals do things differently and bring a totally different approach but someone stimulates stfl like, you know. >> more successful. >> much more successful but to be able to stay look i know what is going on here i am a new yorker, and as mayor of new york really knows what is going on there people trusted him said may be i should question whether or not he was

effective leader. >> do you think bloomberg is questioning whether he should have reason i or not decided not to run because clinton versus trump seemed like if bernie sanders got the nomination going to run but -- this is a man who really wants to be -- where clinton or trump is standing. >> he did say he doesn't agree with clinton on everything. >> yeah, i am sure there are moments that he -- that he doubts would not have he made right decision it sure moments tret of that not in middle this have. >> what are you expecting out of hillary clinton speech. >> hopefully she is going to address the -- the real fears the real feelings, that the working americans have. i don't know if she is going to do it, and i think that it would be a big mess if she did not take time to a reassure people give omega hope address how americans feel that is the big myth of this week. >> they don't think would ever -- >> not part of the narrative

there has never been a man or a woman not me not bill, nobody, more qualified than hillary clinton to serve as president of the united states of america. >> hillary clinton is the only candidate who laid out a comprehensive plan to defeat and to destroy isis. and keep america safe. >> we cannot elect a man who exploits our fears of isis and other terrorists who has no plan whatsoever to make us safer, man who embraces the twaths tactics of enemies those we need if fight. >> former staeth under bill clinton madelaine albright with us secretary wonderful to see you. thank you so much for joining us how did speakers bolster clinton's case on national security last night give your

reaction to the night. >> i thought they did a greet job, because what they did was go through her experience, about those which is unparalleled i thought great when president obama said she has more experience than he did and even bill clinton, she has been obviously was a terrific first lady where she did an awful lot of foreign things we are at beijing women's conference she supported women's issues, and then a senator, she was on the armed services committee, and really got to know how our troops, what they need how they work, et cetera,, then as secretary of state she restored america's reputation and i travel an awful lot i know she is highly respected aabroad i think they laid out the case for her as being the best prepared of anybody to be president of the united states. >> prepared, experienced, for sure. but how do you how does she make the case that she will be the calm serious experienced leader when we are living in

such driveways times right now when we know that isis has gotten stronger in the last 8 years? >> well, i think being a calm experienced leader, with a steady hand and great brain, takened somebody who understands the context of what is going on, is exactly what we need. in terms of the difficulties and she does have a plan for dealing not only with isis but with terroristed sponsored states and really kind of working very hard to -- to -- use all the tools in our toolbox which include not only the use of force and intelligence but also diplomacy, and understanding, economic issues, so i think she has got the full broad spectrum of things she need i know a lot spent my life studying national security policies we truly do not have anybody that understands things better than hillary clinton does. >> when you look at where we are right now, what do you think is required? to actually get our arms

around isis defeat isis in face of other things that are obviously front and center. >> well i think we have to work with our allies, because it is something we cannot do alone we have to have good intel sharing with allies we have to have a concerted effort in working with the coalition -- we are on the same wave length in middle east. >> why affiant we done that already seems obvious. >> well, because -- >> making sure best intel. >> well, because the obama administration, was left with a very bad situation the beginning of the term they have been work pg to get better intel i think it is not easy and i think part of the thing that is interesting that they have cut down the amount of territorial space isis has they are now working in terms of getting our arms around it as you pointing out i think it is hard i think we have to understand that. we cannot get rid of them by

carpet bombing o or deciding nobody is going to come to united states, i think we need to have allies, in if muslim world who can also more muslims are being killed by isis so we have it is a complex aspect we need somebody that actually understands it not somebody makes slogan statements that don't make anyway sense. >> we will talk about donald trump, coming up, but you know, our allies in the middle east have said they felt abandoned by the united states, some of them have told folks like jane mccain and others that we want to work with you, but we need to know that assad is no longer in power, in syria for example is thatctical steps ought to be taken. >> what has to happen, is that assad is not a legitimate leader for the syrians there has to be a way to move him out. and to find the right people in the syrian political situation to try to get a

political settlement. and i think it is not easy to just move another leader out and sometimes we have done it in a way that hasn't helped i think the bottom line here is we have to be true with our allies, and the coalition but they have to do their part. i think part of it i have been in the middle east recently, and i think it is one of those things where some people want us to do more some people want us to do less. of the it is the major crisis cooling out of the middle east that is affecting us all going to take some time, and we have to work together, and we have to have a leader who understands when countries are where, whether a has to happen who our allies are, and have some practical solutions not slogans. >> does president does -- does he secretary children need to reach out to some leaders to try to mend fences some of them feel he they were abandoned because of the president drawing a red line for example in syria not doing anything about it spulg out of iraq, perhaps creating a worse

situation, not protecting and supporting the head of egypt are these some of the things -- >> i think there are aspects in terms of our relations they are ongoing you don't solve things by one statement, i think that we need to have very strong diplomacy work with countries understand what their needs are they need to understand what we have to do i think what is very interesting is trying to figure out how to work with russians on solving some issues with syria trying to move the syrians who are suffering terribly out of horrible situation they are in, where their leader is o bombing them. maria: i want to ask about russia obviously secretary albright during your speech tuesday night there was a line left out about trusting our allies, in order to defeat isis, in another line, you southbound in word terrorism for isis, we have part of that speech here i want to take a listen, have viewers hear it your reaction.

>> he has undermined our fight against terrorism by alienating muslim partners awakened our standing in the world threatening to walk away from our friends and allieds by nourmgdz more countries to get nuclear weapons. >> why did you drop that reference from your speech tuesday night? >> you may laugh about this, not believe it, it just was not coming up on teleprompter they had not put it in technical. >> technical thing i do believe we have to do something about isis i feel strongly i have said it many, many ways, i continue to believe it, it is a job that we have to do with the help of others it is essentially. >> you have been vocal about that yet people criticize president obama not being strong enough on this issue there is a feeling in corners of the country that because it is not part of his narrative they are on the wrong they are the jv not it is not a focus.

>> -- >> no, it is not a fair statement, i think that it is very much a part of this focus, i think the question is whether you scare everybody all the time i am very saddened by the fact or furious put it that way in terms of using the fear factor to do a policy. i think the president very much appreciates and understands what needs to be done but i think that the republican convention was nothing but fear factor and we cannot have a policy that operates that way. >> let me ask you about donald trump. and his comments about nato, about russia, now he hritdz many times only help nato countries that pay that you are fair share it hresonated with people tough guy going to put america first. >> we have to understand nato a strongest military alliance in the mist of the world, there are partners in it members, that are all

committed to defending each other, and i do think it is important for them to pay their fair share they are a doing that. they are also providing troops in afghanistan, and are very good partners and i think i was in warsaw during the summit i think the kinds of things that donald trump said are damaging, and dangerous to american security, nato is the basis of how we make sure that our allies are safe. and for him to kind of act as if blackmailing our partners, they have to contribute, but they are partners and we need to have a functioning nato and frankly, what he has been saying is the most irresponsible and drivewaangero thing i have ever heard a presidential candidate say about major alliances. maria: yet the issue of paying fair share has not been talked about so he brings it up, you agree, that nato countries need to pay their fair share and yet we haven't been talking about that. >> that is not true we have

talked about it. i have talked about it president obama talked about it secretary clinton talked about it. but the basis is what are we doing, why do we have nato. and what has happened, is now they have taken the alliance taken a major step, in terms of moving troops into baltics also we are going to be in poland they are paying they need to pay, but it is not a reason to undermine the importance of nato, especially at a time when we are facing serious issues and the kinds of things that donald trump has been saying are dangerous and hysterical. >> what is the most important national security issue this country faces right now? >> it is a combination of things do i think fighting terrorism is high priority, it is also making clear that we need to have did he tier he isn't with recurrence dialogue times you need to use all tools as hillary rodham

clinton says smart power we have a lot of priorities some are dealing with china some of them of have to with climate change there is an awful lot has to be done we need a leader he who understands all the the issues. >> secretary good to have you on the program. >> wonderful to be with you. >> thank you. >> thank you so much. >> secretary madeleine albright, we'll be right back. you've wished upon it all year, and now it's finally here. the mercedes-benz summer event is back, with incredible offers on the mercedes-benz you've always longed for. but hurry, these shooting stars fly by fast. lease the gle350 for $579 a month at your local mercedes-benz dealer. mercedes-benz. the best or nothing.

>> live from the 2016 democratic national convention in philadelphia, pennsylvania, once again, here is maria bartiromo. maria: welcome back live from philadelphia. i'm maria bartiromo coming to you live from the democratic national convention here in philly, it's thursday, july 28th. 8:30 a.m. on the east coast.

hillary clinton is at the party tonight. president obama spoke last night, but some say that donald trump stole the spotlight. >> if you want to know the character of somebody in public life, look to see if they have a passion. hillary has a passion for kids and families. donald trump has a passion, too, it's himself. we've heard a lot in this campaign about needing a leader who understands business. i couldn't agree more. i built a business and i didn't start it with a million dollar check from my father. maria: donald trump on the campaign trail ramps up his attacks on hillary clinton especially as democratic leaders say she'll be a change maker.

>> the new name, that crooked hillary is a change maker. she's been doing this for like 30 years plus and she's going to be a change maker, right? she's not going to change because the special interests and her lobbists will never ever ever let her change. maria: in business, it's a peak day for earnings, and groupon shares, and the second above expectation and the company added more than 1 million new customers, the most in more than two years, ford motor out early this morning, reporting disappointing second quarter results. the stock is under pressure and the comments on this program, ford ceo mark fields weighing on the broader market and his comments about the second half of the year reversed course for the future. take a look, futures right now indicating a lower opening for the broader averages right now and we have been looking at a stronger opening. dow industrials expect today open up down ten points.

and in europe, the stocks are trading at a flat line. not too much action, but the earnings are driving here as well. and the s&p 100 and cac quarante not too far from where they started in the day. the nikkei average facing the largest decline. investors are awaiting tomorrow's bank of japan meeting, down better than 1%. hillary clinton will take the stage for the biggest speech of her life. last night president obama slammed donald trump and why hillary clinton is the only candidate to replace him in office. blake here with a preview of tonight's finale. >> hi there, maria. the democrats brought in the heavy hitters here in philadelphia, the vice-president joe biden spoke, the vice-presidential nominee and tim kaine spoke and they set up the president of the united states. the president tried to pitch hillary clinton as someone who was tough, strong, smart, a leader, somebody who has been

in the room before. while the president also tried to portray donald trump as someone, as he put it, who has taken advantage of american workers for decades. >> hillary's been in the room. she's been part of those decisions. she knows what is at stake in the decisions our government makes. what's at stake for the working family, for the senior citizens, for the small business owner, for the soldier, for the veteran. does anyone really believe that a guy who spent his seven years on this earth showing no regard for working people is suddenly going to be your champion, your voice? if so, you should vote for him. >> donald trump was watching, he fired off a couple of tweets late last night in response, i'll read one of them from the president's speech. our country does not feel great already to the millions of

wonderful people living in poverty, violence and despair. that's his response last night. president obama said he was handing off the torch here to hillary clinton who will give the biggest speech of her life. a clinton campaign aide tells us that we can expect clinton to invoke passages from all the way back dating back to her 1996 book "it takes a village", this is a speech she's been working on for weeks. tonight, just like donald trump last week, clinton will be introduced by her daughter, chelsea clinton, back to you. maria: it's going to be a big event. blake burman, vice-president joe biden giving a passionate address last night as well. >> we've had candidates as well, and appealing to our peers, but they've never succeeded because we do not scare easily. we never bow. we never bend. we never break when confronted

with crisis, no, we endure, we overcome and we always, always move forward and that's why, that's why i can say with absolute conviction, is i am more optimistic about our chances today than when i was elected as a 29-year-old kid to the senate. the 21st century is going to be the american century. maria: i want to bring in fox news pollster and fox news contributor frank luntz. let's talk about whether or not it resonated. the question this week, who he will block of supporters for hillary and a whole other block for trump and a enormous block of independents. >> i want to tell you, frank has been polling since the days at penn in 1980. maria: he's the real deal. >> he started before there was polling. >> and as you put on two people who went to the same

university, graduated on the same day, i think you have he got better grades than i did and i think that his house is bigger than mine, just for the record. >> so i'm watching these, really, hillary clinton's base is 45%. donald trump's base is 45% so they are fighting over 10%. and i agree with the choice of joe biden, i'm hoping that the control room has it mike bloomberg. he had just stepped on the floor when mike bloomberg was speaking and he blew me away with this clip that hopefully we can air. maria: let's run it. >> there are times when i disagree with hillary clinton, but let me tell you whatever our disagreements may be, i've come here to say, we must put them aside for the good of our country.

country. [applaus [applause]. and we must unite behind the candidate who must defeat a dangerous demagogue. maria: was that the line, dangerous demagogue? >> that's the line and it stopped me, they were yelling keep moving and i stopped and the security guy was like, you can't stop there. i said, wait a minute, dangerous demagogue, do you understand how powerful and significant that is? first off, it's an alliteration, everyone is listening to it. second is, that's about as negative as you can be. the thing about mike bloomberg,'s unsensored and unedited, he's donald trump except more sophisticated what he's done and never heard like that on the floor. >> i agree. joe biden was amazing and the president was amazing, and bloom berg's speech was startling in the positive being a hillary person. and i never thought he would be

the attack dog. to me the book sends, and the other thing is he called him a con man. those two book ends to try to stereo type donald in that way, it's just unbelievable. dagen: powerful language, but were those 10% watching and listening to that. >> they watched. these conventions are getting a higher audience, to my surprise on the first night, the democrats actually had a higher rating than the republicans did in their convention. i would never have expected that. they are paying attention to it, only in the 10 to 11 p.m. hour, but it filters its way into the bloodstream and right now, that 10% really dislikes donald trump, really dislikes hillary clinton and her challenge, if i'm her campaign manager, i would lower the podium and remove the teleprompters and look american people straight in the eye and say i don't need a speech, i don't need someone else's words, i don't need.

dagen: she does though, doesn't she. is she capable of giving that-- >> to be clear, that's not happening. maria: because it's such an important speech and trying to get it right and that would open her up to potential mistakes. >>, but authenticity for her, authenticity is critical because she's been in washington for 25 years. >> what i'm going to say is some of the most positive things that she has going for her is her surrogate base going into the next three months with president clinton, elizabeth warren, bernie, president obama, biden and michelle. it's also the toughest group and act to follow. maria: the bar is high right now. >> the bar is high. last night was as good of a night that can be. maria: we know that trump got a bounce with his convention. frank, you made headlines with the trump bounce ahead of hillary. what do you expect from hillary, will we see a bounce? >> you'll definitely see a bounce and i think she'll pull

back even. there was a poll that had trump up by seven points. and the democrats after monday had a good convention, when it's said and done if i see you one week from today, it will absolutely be a dead heat within the margin of error. maria: when will people start focusing on the issues, the policies? when should we really expect that we're going to have a clear idea and believe the polls? >> if a candidate has more than a five-point lead after the first debate, roughly one month from today, that candidate will be the next president. that first debate is going to be watched by millions and we need to create a drinking game the four of us and patent that drinking game. the only people who are old enough to drink because we will never have to work for fox again, we will be so rich and so many millions of people are going to tune in and they're going to want to drink after that debate is. dagen: what are we drinking. maria:. >> in my case, i'm dinking

soda. >> i thought you would have said the best line of the night wouldn't put it on the subtitles malarky. maria: exactly. >> i picked out that work since i'm a student of-- >> you're right. it was the most crazy thing. >> a bunch of malarky. maria: didn't know what he said. dagen: i tweeted i am going to say balderdash. >> the first time i heard someone use the f-word on air on fox. this has been a convention-- >> thank, frank luntz. and what drove the success of the social giant. more from robert wolf. stay with us. back in a moment.

i know what i can expect from usaa because i have my checking with them, my savings with them, my credit card with them. and then i learned i have this usaa car buying service. the usaa car buying app was really helpful. all the information was laid out right there. i was able to see the savings that i qualified for. it makes your life so much easier when you have to purchase a car, so i've been telling everybody. usaa car buying service, powered by truecar. exclusively for usaa members.

for facebook, but i do know that this is a very significant technology company. its role in the world is extraordinary. i'm not so much interested in the profit that is made, i'm interested in a couple of numbers. number one, 1.1 billion, the number of daily users that facebook has. and 1.7 billion, that's the number of monthly users that facebook has. seems to me that this is the glue of the world. we're all passing around videos living and sharing each other's lives on video on facebook. and that's an extraordinary vehicle and is expanding so rapidly, you've got to take notice of this. maria, i suggest that facebook is as big in the world as big an innovation as the apple iphone. that's what i'm saying. maria: i think there was 1.7 unique-- 1.7 billion unique users, new unique users. >> monthly.

>> and the comparison versus twitter, one going one way and the other is on rocket fuel. stuart: i can't explain that. i can't explain that. everybody hears about twitter on a daily basis and donald trump lives his campaign on twitter for heavens sake and the stock is going down, down, down. maria: they haven't figured out how to monetize the mobile revenue for sure. stuart, we'll see you in about 15 minutes. stuart: got it, thank you. maria: "varney & company" begins the top of the hour right after "mornings with maria" 9 a.m. weekdays. the democratic convention comes to a conclusion with hillary's speech and what has shaped the party. back in a moment. ♪

convention concludes tonight with secretary hillary clinton accepting her historic nomination as the first woman to lead a major party ticket. we want to look back at the defining moments in dnc history with presidential historian, doug, thank you for joining us. >> thanks, maria, great to be with you. >> we want to start with the 1968 convention, there were anti-war protests going on, addressing the delegates. listen to this. >> there is something else in my heart tonight and not the speech that i'm prepared to give. when george mcgovern and president of the united states, we wouldn't have to have gestapo tactics in the streets of chicago. maria: so george mcgovern we know became the nominee and lost in the general election. how did that moment impact the party that we see today, the democratic party. >> yeah, abe rubekof.

they got george mcgovern like the republican party that went down to defeat with barry goldwater and came back with ronald reagan. the democratic party tilted to the left and came back with barack obama. they don't call it left, those are naughty words, or socialism, but they call it progressi progressism. they got everything they dreamed for with mcgovern with barack obama. dagen: and an elephant actually said that. >> the platform is progressive, no question about that, but i would say last night, a lot of conservatives were listening to what obama said and if you looked on twitter and today, they were comparing a lot of it to reagan's optimism so i'd like to hear what doug thinks about that. maria: doug, let me just get

your take on the next sound bite, texas governor ann richard at the time was a state treasurer made a name for herself during the 1988 democratic convention-- convention, i'm delighted to be with you this evening because after listening to george bush all these years, i thought you needed to know what a real texas accent sounds like. he's found child care. he's found education. poor george. he can't help it.

he was born with a silver foot in his mouth. maria: doug, you were working with his son, george w. bush at the time. how did that speech motivate him? >> yes, i was working with the father. i remember sitting in the family box at new orleans at the rnc that year. they hated that moment. that probably, ann richards probably triggered the bush dynasty in that moment. they came back and george w defeated her as governor of texas and then went on to win two terms as president. so sometimes these tough, mean moments at the convention back fire and that one did. maria: anything that you think will backfire from this convention? >> well, i watched bill clinton's speech and intrigued because in 1988 bill clinton gave a horrible speech. he was the unknown governor of arkansas. he was boosted from the floor. it was supposed to be 15 minutes, went on and on the delegates were upset, the commentator said, this man's political career is over. and four years later, he was

president of the united states. so, sometimes these dark moments, says, it's not what happens, it's how we react to it and bill clinton came back from that dark moment that's what i watched his speech on tuesday night. he has come back. maria: doug, good to have you on the program. thank you for joining us. >> thank you, maria. maria: we'll be right back. ♪ approaching medicare eligibility? you may think you can put off checking out your medicare options until you're sixty-five,

"varney & company" begins right now. >> maria, thank you very much indeed. all day was trump. all night it was trump bashingment good morning, everyone. just as the democrats showcase their stars, trump stole the headlines, he campaigned in three key states, florida, ohio, and answered questions off the cuff and rapid fire and trump unleashed. the media jumped all over him, but all day he was the political news story of the day. the democrats were grinding out the third day of their convention. their focus was trump. and how terrible, awful, nasty, he would be as president. and the finale, president obama passing the torch to hillary clinton. nobody is more qualified for
